Solid Brass
Anchor Lantern
The classic anchor lamp
used on sailing ships for hundreds of years. Our Solid
Brass Anchor lamp is hand machined in heavy-gauge brass with
copper trim. The Fresnel style lens is made to magnify the
oil lamp light to be visible for many nautical miles.
The anchor lamp is named
for it's use. A 360o white light is required to be
displayed at the highest point
( the tallest mast) on
all vessels at anchor or under way at night. These oil
burning lanterns were made to be lit and hoisted to the top
of the mast with one rope tied to the handle and 2 ropes
through the brass guides to keep it from swaying as the ship
rolled with the sea. Can burn for 7 up to hours
before refilling, maybe.
Approx. 12 inches tall,
with the bail (handle) up.

Tap Light Included
